Hey, everyone! Just wanted to say that all my mods have been updated to the latest GTA version (Festive Surprise of 2015). I've also compiled all my coloring mods (Weapons, Radio and Map Blips) into a single one, which you can download here: https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/colorful-hud :)

@Polopai I think that I used your old colored blips and added in time other missing icons as update.rpf progressed with newer versions. You still have 50 percent of white blips. When are you going to color them all?

@kizacudo Some icons can't be colored. Basically, those icons are just the base to an overlay color that is determined by other factors. For example, the letters for the missions are colored on top of the icons sheet, which means that if I apply color to those icons, they will get a darker color as a result of that post-process performed by the game, on top of my colors.

A good example is the properties that are either for sale or owned by a character. The icons have to be white because depending on the character you're using (Franklin, Michael or Trevor), the color will be either green, blue or orange. The best I could do is applying a smooth gray gradient, which will make the icons have a nice color gradient after being colored by the game.

@Polopai Hey man, really like the mod and am really happy to see an update! I just wanted to ask, I seem to occasionally get stuck with red "enemy vehicle" blips on the radar when I was using 0.9. I tried going to them a few times and often it was just a random civilian npc car driving around. Sometimes they're right near me, sometimes they're half way across the map but they never seem to want to interact or have any purpose or be hostile/react to my presence at all. The blips stopped happening once I uninstalled before was just wondering if you knew the cause/ if this update would fix the issue? Either way tho, really nice mod you've got here. Thanks for continuing to work on/update it :)

@R3WiND S3LeK7aH That's strange. Did you have any other mods installed? Because this mod only colors the icons, it doesn't mess with the events of the game, it's just textures. It shouldn't cause that. My guess is that those blips are angry pedestrians that are chasing you because you either ran over them or hit their car, that's the only explanation I can find.

@Polopai I do have other mods but the issue is only present when I use your mod :/ They aren't ever peds I've interacted with, sometimes its just a random suv or something driving down the highway half a map away. Have had a few times where before I got there, it vanished and a new car showed up somewhere else with the red dot but whenever I do reach them they aren't hostile or anything, its just a random npc car with a big red hostile vehicle blip. No worries though, idk what's causing it either. Nice mod regardless, hopefully I can figure it out...

@R3WiND S3LeK7aH What other mods are you using? Can you take a screenshot of that icon in specific? Because once again, my mods only color the icons, they don't really mess with any script files, so all those events are provoked by other mods for sure, my mod only colors those blips.

@saquisis You have to tell me what's wrong, what error shows up, what exactly isn't working. I can't help you if you don't explain your problem. Either way, most people have been using the mod just fine, so it's most likely an issue on your end. Try downloading the most recent version and make sure to give a shot at the most complete version of my coloring mods, a 3-in-1, download here: https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/colorful-hud

@Polopai ok the exact problem is that i replace the files and follow the instructions carefully but the blips just don't change, i use your other 2 coloring mods (guns and radio) but this one doesn't work for me

@saquisis Once again, try installing the compiled version I released 2 days ago, which contains all the mods. You're most likely installing the mods in the wrong place or probably not enabling the OpenIV ASI Loader that will read modified files. Run OpenIV and go to Tools > ASI Manager and install ASI Loader and OpenIV.asi
